As we enter March and we start to wrap up the Aquarian energies and entering into the culminationary energies of Pisces ( is that a word?β¦β¦.. it is now! ) also not to mention the alignment of all the planets we just experienced, so you might say we might be feeling the intense surge to refine our energies, get our house in order as we enter the 13th and final alchemical stage of the solar cycle.
Multiplication of virtues or unvirtues is the universal law that governs Aquarius. Multiplication of whatever that is that you chose for yourself. Virtues are that which bring goodness to you and others in the form of spiritual strength and unvirtues are that which make you more dependent on entropic exchanges that eventually make you morally bankrupt and one day must be answered.
Reflecting on that a bit, its no surprise that this month we are facing the results of the vitues or unvirtues we have put into the containers of the hologram, that which we call days, hours, minutes and seconds.
Greed might be the most common and socially acceptable monster we let in walk through the door and relentlessly bully us.
The truth is that its not about judgement or punishment.
Its about the lack of understanding we possess about what we truly need and that would actually make us happy.
Can benevolent forces answer prayers that are inevitably harmful to our being. Can we ourselves work diligently to provide our self with demands we have a feeling isn't really going to get us where we truly want to go in our hearts. Is this the true reason behind what is referred to as self-sabotage, in many instances?
and why do we resist the contents of our hearts, even though it might be the only endeavour worth taking.
We might even think we are following our heart, sometimes a road we took was out of good intentions and started that way.
Then through years of conditioning and small little compromises we might have completely changed direction without even knowing, Assuming there was no other way. But really we were manipulated to give up our true vision and integrity.
All our day is wasted away in dealing with matter that we start to identify with it as us and all that we are, and all the little decisions that must be made, we are told we need to conserve, that we are unworthy if we cant survive in this terrain or if we are technically struggling with acquiring more matter.
Greed in itself is the monster that creates Wastefulness. Greed is blind, it just wants because it believes "this is what i need" therefore will do anything to get it. Sometimes go way out of its way, and even forgo a simple pleasurable thing it really wanted that was right in front of it all along.
What is the spirit of conservation mean in this world of ours? Is it saving a dollar, is it a bargain? is it worrying over the things you want that you dont have have? Or is that the spirit of greed and wastefulness.
Have you noticed when you buy something you really like and because you think you really love it you dont let yourself use it, you're like "hey im going to save this, for a special rainy day" and have you noticed most of the time you end up having to throw that thing out entirely? You either grew out of it already by the time you got around to it or it was spoiled waiting to serve its purpose. To me this has always been a great example of the mind, the tricks it plays with the monster of greed and how it always leads to wastefullness.
Is the answer to all this to become a minimalist? Never need anything? Cut everything out. MINIMISE.
Maybe sell everything and run away? Maybe join a monastery, hey better yet a cult? We know many people in history fell for this "solution".
Many people will make all kinds of different choices and decisions when they feel backed into a corner by the structures of our society/economy that worship the monster of greed. Some will be good and innovative, even truly progressive. Others will have negative consequences for they were ill advised and hasty. Since you cant run away from one monster and run in to the hands of another one and expect to be saved, such as the monster of impatience in that case.
I know for me the answer is revealing to be in, learning my lessons in how i approach matter in general. How do i simplify everything in my life to be truly what i actually need and leaving room for innovation, not being afraid when my needs aren't being met immediately, understanding there might be a good reason for that and an action that must be taken, for the mother of all invention is necessity. How do i shop? where do i shop? How do i perceive certain material set-backs. Not as punishment but as a necessary clue in my navigation, where am i, where i'm going and whats to come. How do i find that balance between having preferences but not attachments? How can i be in this world but not of it?
